ABSTRACT
In Vietnam nowadays, the Vietnam National University, Hanoi in particular,
a new standard for English proficiency is set; that is the required overall score of 5.0 on the IELTS or equivalent Thus, many universities emphasize the development of IELTS skills While efforts have been made to teach the four macro skills of writing, reading, listening in many language colleges, far less attention is paid to teach necessary techniques to develop good IELTS speaking skill To bridge the gap, this thesis aims to explore the difficulties experienced by lecturer teaching IELTS speaking to Vietnamese students at university level and to find out the solutions regarding this issue Through a questionnaire survey on lecturers and students of IELTS preparation courses, the study found that lecturers have encountered numerous difficulties when teaching IELTS speaking to Vietnamese students such as error correction, overcoming nervousness, using the cue card, helping students improve their critical thinking in answering abstract issues The study also explores lecturers’ perceptions of the difficulties when teaching students IETLS speaking as well as the factors that help learners to develop their speaking skills Students’ questionnaire also helps to explore the lecturers’ difficulties from the students’ point of view Suggested solutions for each problem are given by experienced lecturers through interviews This work hopes to both contribute to the existing body of IELTS research as well as to pave the way for future studies in this fields
